ATLANTA, GA, June5.7-[ Special T.
In Fayette county there are Two, faIn-
lilies named Handy and Starpes. In
each family there are five children
the Hambys being boys and the
Starnes girls. Within the past two
years the Handy boys set in to mar
rying the Starnes girls, the weddings
OF the first three couples being un-
marked by any unusual event. When
however, the fourth of the Hambys
approached the paternal Starnes, who
WAS widower, and demanded the
hand of Miss Susie, the fourth daugh-
ter, there was war in the house.
Finally the old man was quieted down
and consented to tie marriage, max
ing vow at the same time that she
was the last Of his daughters whom
he would permit to thus dispose of
herself. H A
Two weeks ago Mr. Handy, the
father of the boys, died, leaving his
wife a widow. On Friday night the
youngest son, knowing that it was
useless TO ask Mr.. Starnes about the
matter, eloped with the last of his
daughters, and was married TO her by
Magistrate near Jonesboro. On
Saturday morning Starnes, the elder,
was In pursuit, but was TOO late to
prevent the marriage. lie gave vent

Bon Aqua Springs, the Saratoga
Of the South

We are credibly informed that this
celebrated summer resort has opened
this year on June, lst. 10 guests from
any part of the world. Bon Aqua
Springs is situated upon an elevated
Plateau nearly twelve hundred feet
above sea level. This altitude renders
the air delightfully."- pure and cool, so
invigoraling To people and so much
sought after by all class during the
hot months of June, July, August
and September. 1t Is AN acknOwl-
edged asylum for all suffering from
lung diseases or debilitated from the
effects of malaria or other disorders.
The resort is situated in beautiful
park of heavy shade trees Of about
300 acres. The hotel is a fine build
ing 80 by 2I0 feet, with galleries
twelve feet wide around each floor,
aud forming promenade of nearly
two thousand feet. The ball room
aud dining room are each 40 by 80
feet. The cuisine will be in charge Of
celebrated Chef and the tables with
capacity of 300 at one sitting will be
furnished with every delicacy the
country affords during the season. In
addation TO the hotels capacity, there
are about one hundred cottages situ-
ated in the square In close proximity
To the Hotel, so a place can be secured
to suit the tastes of all classes either
public or private. One of the impor-
tant additions recently added lie the
large bathing house arranged with
two general departments, one design
cd for Ladies only aud the other for
Gentleman.
In this building the various kinds
of mineral waters will be utilized in
the form of hot and cold bathing, un-
der the directions of two Physicians,
a lady aud gentleman, one for each OF
the respective departments.
One Of the most important features
Of this resort is the value OF the med
icinal qualities of its mineral waters
No less than six different kinds of
waters issue from the earth within a
few feet of each other, including
black, white aud red sulphur, arsenic,
chalybeate and free-stOne. These
waters are unlike many other miner
al waters and are in reality an excep-
tion to the general rule, for the reason
that they are cool and palatable and
Immediately become the favorite Of
guests for their delicious taste. Their
Medicinal qualities are known by
thousands OF people, many of whom
have been permanently cured by
drinking these waters. Another
feature we must not overlook, and
that is the facilities for music and
anusements. A full band Of brass
and string instruments will he in at
tendencc as well as pianos &c. For
more physical exercises there are
boating, ten pin alley, billiards and
lawn tennis. Nothing seems TO be
overlooked TO make Bon Aqua Springs
Just what it claims this season the
Saratoga of the South" If any Of
our readers desire TO have a pamphlet
describing this resort, and "Bird's
Eye View" of the premises, they can
